    They don’t have ankles. They don’t have testicles. They are missing a bunch of ribs. They don’t fart. They don’t even have a Y chromosome. At a certain point, it’s probably easier to list the things they do have.

    I once rolled my ankle but in the most perfect way in which instead of pain, it was the most pleasurable “bone popping” I’ve ever had in my life. All those tiny ankle bone just popped like satisfying bubble wrap that you just grabbed and popped a bunch, it was so satisfying I was dazed for like a solid minute or 2.

    I have spent 15 years trying to do it again to no success :(

      I’ve been blessed with an incredibly pop susceptible body. Ankles, toes, wrists, knuckles, neck, back, the odd elbow or knee pop here and there. My neck is so loud that I was watching Dune in IMAX with my boyfriend and he heard it over the subwoofers. It’s very satisfying.

        Popping my sternum in public is the highlight of existing some days. It’s loud, and alarming.

        I learned I could do it a decade back but it takes a super specific position that took me many more years to work out so I could do it on demand. Feels amazing.

        My hyper-flexibility is probably to blame for it, but it’s super fun :)

        I can do most things reliably except for the ankles, but I’ve long since lost my ability to easily do my back and neck

        And it’ll happen to you to meme

          I used to force my neck, but I stopped doing that a while ago. In my 30s now so we’ll see how long it lasts. I can also pop my lower back by clenching my buttocks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

            Ok that’s a new one, never heard of a butt clench back pop.

            I can do pretty much every joint aside from hips and elbows. The loudest are my messed up shoulders from when I used to swim competitively. I’ve had multiple doctors tell me it’s the loudest shoulder pop they’ve ever heard.

          Not only do I have an increased range of motion, but I (very recently learned) that an old injury is causing spinal stenosis – my spinal canal is narrowing due to bone overgrowth on my vertebrae. (Car accident. I was rear ended.)

          About 20 years ago a chiropractor popped my neck by twisting it, and it so freaked him out that he leapt back from the table and did the heebie jeebie dance.
          He told me to never let a chiropractor pop my neck by twisting it ever again.
          Reasonably certain I could kill myself showing off doing yoga, like in that Dead Like Me episode.

    I won/lost gene lotery. I can twist my ankle like that without permanent damage but I can’t lift more than 20kg in a squat.

    God I have rolled my ankle a shit ton doing physical activities and simply walking, to the point both feet have rolled several times, and to the point where I needed physical therapy. I am fucked on uneven terrain, and even when walking in my house on kitchen tiled floor I have rolled and tripped.

    Physical therapy at least made it so it doesn’t hurt anymore when I roll, and I’m not out of commission for the next hour.

    I’m not even of legal drinking age, I’ll probably die by falling down the stairs at 50 or smth.

      Are you able to wear hi-top sneakers or boots? I used to roll my ankles a lot so I started wearing both and it happens less. When it does happen, it doesn’t hurt nearly as much

        Metatarsals are bones in your feet, they’re numbered.

        The 5th is the outermost.

        Theres a tendon that attaches in that area and when my foot fell off the skateboard while landing a kickflip I pogo sticked on the side of my foot and the tendon and bone had an argument about who was stronger … and I guess I got some strong ass tendons

          I broke one of the small ones in the middle/ outside of my foot while simply stepping one step off my porch. The Doctor called it the cuboid bone, he asked how I did it . I told him “I stepped off the porch and heard a snap like a twig from my foot”. He got pretty upset and said " look man just tell me how it really happened! ". I told him again and he said there is no way thats what happened. He wrote me a perscription for hydrocodon. I took two days off work, drank 40’s, mixed the hydros with xanax and M box 30’s that I already had and had a nice few days

            I wore a cast for a while. It healed.

            2 decades later and I have a slight gait imbalance and the leg it happened to is slightly stronger (I can tell during squats) from accommodating that.

    Okay I’m going to put this out there. I’ve never birthed a child but I can be certain that the birthing process doesn’t hold a candle to the monkey claw I experience after eating a bean burrito loaded with jalapenos and mole. I don’t think even an epidural could ameliorate that level of dire suffering.

    But honestly, if there was a way to objectively measure pain, I’d like to compare it to a kick in the balls.

            Used to know a guy that had like some weird fetish for that. Was drinking with him and a few friends and out of the blue he tells me to kick him in the balls. I refused, as did my girlfriend. He asked another girl we were drinking with to do it; she obliged. I swear he went into the fetal position before hitting the ground!
